In captivity, groundhogs can exceed this limit; by example, the 22-year-old wiarton willie may indicate the maximum lifespan. #8 > [@wiki](#): > > this burrow is usually in a wooded or brushy area and is dug below the frost line and remains at a stable temperature well above freezing during the winter months. In most areas, groundhogs hibernate from october to march or april, but in more temperate areas, they may hibernate as little as 3 months. ---

I was going to answer Caddyshack, but Bill Murray isn’t really the starring role so I went with good old Meatballs (Canadian bias), even though my personal favorite is Stripes.
